Where: Nevada (40.8° N, 116.2° W: paleocoordinates 10.9° S, 65.7° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Wenlock to Wenlock (433.4 - 419.2 Ma)
• Details of USNM locality needed to be more specific about stratigraphy. (Community said to range from Wenlockian to Pridolian, but no data given for this collection.)
Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; dolomitic packstone
•SEP has taken liberal interpretation of this ref. and added env. based on it and field knowledge of regional strat. this COULD be off the mark but is consistent with other units in region of similar age.
